[Okular-devel] Building on Windows

[Jonathan Schultz]

Thank you both Albert and Thomas for helping with this. I'm neither an 
expert in Okular nor in KDE for Windows. But I am working on a project 
that involves adding functionality to Okular and is worthless if it 
can't be built for Windows, so I do have an interest in getting this to 
work. So I am happy to invest some time and energy both in learning and 
in building and testing various solutions.

Cheers,
Jonathan
